China really going after Korea now. Coming at them much harder than they did Australia.

They seem to think they can just strongarm everyone into line. :?

Don't those silly Koreans know or understand that China must be allowed to behave exactly how it wants to, and that turning a blind eye to their indiscretions is the only way to manage things with them.

And they should realise that they are Chinese and they should give their land back to China because reasons.

And in other news Treasury wines got a broker upgrade and the share price upped 17.5% today.

I guess the CCP wine embargo has backfarted up it's own arse... imagine that, treasury wines are now doing better exporting to other markets - the Chinese buyers should be seething at the price increase they are copping. :lol: CCP fail.

What a pack of wit kant these CCP mob are. They are not seriously throwing the racist dagger at Australia when they have always been openly racist, believing that theirs is the ultimate race and should stand alone above all others on the planet? Their human rights record is atrocious and they continue to denigrate their own and other people around the world.
I would suggest that any Chinese student is much safer in Australia than in China where they are unable to have and share their own personal beliefs and opinions unless they align with those of the Chinese Communist Plums. Why do they think so many young Chinese want to come to live and study here and in Europe and the USA? How many foreigners reciprocally come to China each year for education or to try and emigrate permanently? f**king none or at least very close to it.
They continually blurt out disrespectful unforgivable insults at not only our Govt.(which TBF some of us do from time to time) but at all Australians. WTF? They couldn’t even be f**ked displaying a basic level of diplomacy towards our and other nations of people that do not match their military might.
They are the ultimate racist deadshit bullying wit kant. fudge them!

America poking the Chinese bear

US-China meeting in Alaska begins with on-camera confrontation

By Matthew Knott
March 19, 2021 — 10.33am

Washington: The first in-person talks between top US and China officials since Joe Biden’s inauguration have gotten off to a fiery start, with America’s top diplomat warning his counterparts that China will create “a far more violent world” unless it respects global rules.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan made a point of abandoning traditional niceties by inviting TV cameras and reporters back into the meeting room to capture them trading barbs with their Chinese counterparts on Friday (AEDT).

The meeting was supposed to begin with two-minute statements from each side before the media departed but the opening exchanges extended well beyond that as the rival diplomats tried to have the last word.

Chinese officials said it was hypocritical of the US to complain about China’s human rights record and accuse it of cyber espionage given the history of racism against African-Americans. They also accused the US of being a global “champion of cyber attacks”.

At the outset of the two-day summit in Anchorage, Alaska, Blinken said the US team will “discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies”.

“Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability,” Blinken said.

[Chinese said] it was hypocritical of the US to complain about China’s human rights record and ... given the history of racism against African-Americans.
So, if USA has a history of doing something (which is now outlawed by the thought police there), that makes it alright for the CCP to impose racism against a minority group of its population as official state policy?

Yeah, nah.

China is rattling the cage quite a bit but we do hold a major card that will screw them if we play it.
Australia produces something like 50% of the iron ore exported. Brazil is the next major producer, and with Covid their production is massively down.
We produce most of the worlds iron ore. If we decide to take out bat and ball and go home then their economy grinds to a halt.
It will hurt us in the short term, but we can pivot to other export markets pretty quick.

I am no expert on this at all, but haven't they stockpiled a significant amount of ore, giving them time to arrange alternate imports if they stop all ore from Australia?

So much for mutual respect and not interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states...
I suppose Australia views any non-white nation that doesn't just roll over and take the abuse and contract breaking as being retaliatory and bullying.

“We express our strong displeasure and resolute opposition to the Australian Foreign Minister’s announcement on April 21 to cancel the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation within the Framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and the related Framework Agreement between the Chinese side and Government of Victoria,” the spokesman said.

“This is another unreasonable and provocative move taken by the Australian side against China.

“It further shows that the Australian government has no sincerity in improving China-Australia relations.

“It is bound to bring further damage to bilateral relations, and will only end up hurting itself.”

That seems like a very tame statement. Why are such statements when aimed at other countries viewed as fine, especially when London or Washington fires them out but when a cheeky upstart of a non-caucasian nation does it then they are bullies, belligerent and dangerous.

To it just seems the Aussies have just stuck their fingers up to China again and tore up a signed agreement.

Instead of the slanging match back and fore it would be far far easier for the rest of the world, instead of feeding Australia and their anti-Chinese agenda that they just stop doing business with each other. It would be far better for the world instead of spreading this toxic disharmony.

It's simple, China stops buying anything, not a bean, from Australia, instantly...no matter how much it my disrupt things. Australia stop selling anything to China also, not a bean.

Also, China to stop all trade with Australia, sell them nothing, not even a phone case, let everything be sourced through other places. Australia to stop buying it too.

When all that is agreed, everyone can STFU about it.

Don't even speak to each other on the international stage. Just send messages via mates of mates.

Do us all the bloody favour....christ it's so boring.

That would be starting a trade war with China. Although Morrison blocking this trade agreement in Victoria has arguably already done that. China is still our largest export market so I'm not sure why we would start a trade war with them?

I am no expert on this at all, but haven't they stockpiled a significant amount of ore, giving them time to arrange alternate imports if they stop all ore from Australia?
It might have some stockpiled but two issues
- There isnt any other sources. Australia and Brazil produce around 85% of the total iron ore exported. Brazils mines are right down on efficiency due to Covid, so we make the lions share.
- They are building at a rate of knots and need all the iron ore they can get their hands on.

China produces some iron ore, but its around 1/3rd of that which Australia does. They just dont make enough to satisfy themselves.
